Als Perry Rhodan bei einem scheinbaren Routinebesuch den Mars besichtigt, geschieht das Ungeheuerliche: Mitsamt seinem besten Freund Reginald Bull und einer wild zusammengewürfelten Gruppe von Menschen wird der Terraner entführt – in eine Zukunft, die rund eine Milliarde Jahre von seiner eigenen Zeit entfernt ist ...

Tolstoy gave his personal approval to this translation, published here in a new single volume edition, which includes an introduction by Henry Gifford, and Tolstoy's important essay Some Words about War and Peace.

Diese Chronik einer absehbaren Katastrophe ist eine heftige Kritik an der Institution der Ehe und an der Bigotterie der Gesellschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die auf uns heute skurill wirkenden Vorstellungen von Ehre, die der Hauptfigur der Novelle zu einem verblüffenden Freispruch verhelfen, werden besonders aufs Korn genommen. Tolstoj fragt uns und sich, wie es gelingen kann, wahre Liebe in der Ehe über die destruktiven Kräfte von Eifersucht und Misstrauen siegen zu lassen.

After college, he was swept up in the whirlwind of marriage, starting a family, forming a business, and ceaselessly working to grow his personal and professional endeavors. In the process of writing this book, Cyrus realized that what keeps him moving is a hunger to make a difference, to be counted, to be part of something bigger than himself.

The diary is that most intimate of journals, of records. Within its pages the writer records and gives expression to their thoughts, their feelings, their emotional state on all the things that make up and surround them in this world. With authors of the calibre of Bulgakov, Woolf, Tolstoy, Twain and many others this volume explores characters whose lives seem dominated by these diaries, and the events that unfold are both compelling and literary journeys into the very personal and intimate side of their characters’ lives.
